A Washington state man is presumed dead after his boat capsized on Lake Elwell in Toole County this weekend.

Toole County Sheriff Donna Whitt reports that 34-year-old Adam Wills has been presumed drowned after search-and-rescue efforts over the last few days failed to locate the man.

Wills was on a camping and boating trip with a female friend and her father on Lake Elwell over the weekend. According to the sheriff's office, Wills and the female were reportedly floating in a small, unpowered aluminum boat in the lake on Saturday night close to dusk. The wind reportedly picked up, causing large waves that capsized the boat.

After an extended time in the water, the female lost sight of Wills and presumed he had drowned as he was disoriented and was apparently struggling to stay afloat when they got separated. After almost another hour in the water, the female made it to the shore, reports indicate.

She walked a considerable distance back toward their campsite when she was located by her father at dawn in the Bootlegger Recreation Area. Her father reportedly had woken up to see neither Wills, his daughter nor their boat at the camp site and became concerned.

Whitt reports on Sunday an extensive air, land and water search was conducted by the Toole County Sheriff's office, Toole County Search and Rescue, the U.S. Customs and Board Patrol, Toole County Ambulance Service, Liberty County Sheriff's office, Liberty County Emergency Management Services and local volunteer pilots who offered their services.

On Sunday evening, Whitt reports that search-and-rescue teams located what they believed to be a submerged body in about 85 feet of water using sonar from a search boat. But because of the depth, diving was not possible and dimming light prevented search-and-rescue teams from looking further.

On Monday, deep water divers from Flathead County were called in and brought additional search equipment, however, they were unable to make contact with the body.

"It was determined at this point further searching of this type was unlikely to relocate the contact," Whitt said in a press release. "Aerial or surface boat searches will continue daily."
